Alfredo Rodríguez (Cuba)

Grammy-nominated artist Alfredo Rodríguez reflects the talents of legendary jazz pianists Keith Jarrett, Thelonious Monk, and Art Tatum. Schooled in the rigorous classical conservatories of Havana, Cuban-born Rodríguez’s riveting artistry is informed as much by Bach and Stravinsky as it is by his Cuban and jazz roots. Discovered at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival by Quincy Jones, Rodríguez has distinguished himself as the definition of jazz and improvisation without boundaries. He has performed on prestigious stages around the world such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, Jazz in Marciac, Umbria Jazz, and Jazz à Vienne. Additionally, Rodríguez was nominated for a 2015 Grammy for the “The Invasion Parade” album, co-produced by Quincy Jones. The 2 musicians who joined Rodríguez and helped shape the album’s sound are Michael Olivera and Munir Hossn, who are joining him on stage for the PAPJAZZ.
